Yvonne Audette: Paintings and Drawings 1949–2014
This definitive monograph celebrates the seven-decade career of Yvonne Audette, one of Australia’s most significant yet underrecognized abstract artists. Spanning her early New York years (studying under Hans Hofmann), European experimentation, and mature Sydney period, the book traces her evolution from bold gestural abstraction to meditative, calligraphic compositions.
The book features critical essays that provide insights into her creative process and the significance of her contributions to Australian and international art. It also includes personal reflections and archival material, making it both a visual celebration and a scholarly exploration of Audette’s impact on modern art.
